Six months ago, I\u00a0alerted readers to the very attractive benefits<\/a>\u00a0that the TreasuryDirect program offers to investors who are defensively sitting on cash right now.<\/p>\n

Since then, those benefits have continued to improve. Substantially.<\/p>\n

Back in November, by holding extremely conservative short-term (i.e., 6-months or less) Treasury bills, TreasuryDirect participants were receiving over 16x more in interest payments vs keeping their cash in a standard bank savings account.<\/p>\n

Today, they\u2019re now receiving over\u00a030 times more<\/strong><\/u>. Without having to worry about the risk of a bank \u201cbail-in<\/a>\u201d or failure.<\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re holding cash right now and NOT participating in the TreasuryDirect program, do yourself a favor and read on. If you\u2019re going to pass on this opportunity, at least make it an \u2018eyes-wide-open\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n

Well, there\u2019s now one more good reason to add to the list:\u00a0holding cash in short-term Treasurys is now meeting\/beating the dividend returns offered by the stock market:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For the first time since February 2008,<\/strong>\u00a0three-month Treasury bills now have a yield advantage over the S&P 500 dividend yield (and dramatically lower risk).<\/p>\n

Investors can earn a\u00a0guaranteed 1.90%<\/strong>\u00a0by holding the 3-month bills or a\u00a0risky 1.89%<\/strong>\u00a0holding the S&P 500\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
